Why is it so hard for our kids to just LIVE these days?

16. It is the horrendous WEALTH GAP. Understanding why and how it is that way people willfully ignore because

they do not want to admit to themselves or others how they have been and continue to be snookered by the oligarch class about how they have been used to not only VOTE against their own interests but how to LIVE against their own interests. We are fed a breakfast of fear of others, a lunch of intolerance, and a dinner or hate by media that are owned by the oligarchs and all of it infiltrates our homes, our schools, our places of worship. So here we are. We live in a world where the wealth gap between those at the top and those at the bottom continues to widen. We live in a time where the oligarch all over the world have so much money they don't even know what to do with it so they end up just handing the money around to each other through politics and corporate agendas all meant to just fuck with the rest of us and fuck up the environment. Rather than raise wages by a small percentage of their overall profits and still be able to hand out hefty dividends to their invested base, they would rather lavish money on undeserving politicians instead of paying the same amount in taxes and uplifting the base of working men and women who actually enable their wealth.

I still highly recommend that DUers read DAVOS MAN by Peter S Goodman or, If your eyes are weak like mine, sign up for a short term account on Audible and listen to it. The book should be titled "When Having It All Is Not Enough."

A real eye-opener even for those of us who consider ourselves to be informed.
